Essential Pure Bar is manufactured by the seasoned Prom-IN company, which has been on the Czech market since 1976. Their products have undergone many reforms to suit all athletes and contain no unnecessary or ineffective substances. Combined with an absolutely excellent price, you get supplements that regularly rank at the top of not only our rankings.

Prom-IN Pure Bar will fill you up perfectly whenever you need a little something to replenish your energy. Taste-wise, it definitely doesn't do badly, but it's fair to say that it's no miracle either. We found the pistachio flavour to be the best, which was noticeably stronger than the other variants, which on the other hand were a little bland at times. The consistency of the bar is quite a bit powdery, which of course is not uncommon among protein bars. As a quick on-the-go snack, however, it's perfect. We will discuss the bar in more detail in a separate review on Prom-IN Pure Bar.

We have absolutely nothing to fault the Essential Pure Bar. A premium composition and a good price are the two most important aspects to follow when choosing a protein bar. And Prom-IN has proven with this product that it has no competition in protein bars either.

If you want to get a good quality protein snack, for example for travelling, here is the best choice.

Edit 11/23/2018 - We just published a detailed review for the Pure Bar, you can read it here.

- of which sugars	1,5 g
Fibre	13,8 g

The base of the bar is whey protein and micellar casein. There are also nuts (usually almonds and cashews) and each bar contains about 11 grams of soluble corn fibre. All the ingredients used are of high quality and there are no controversial sweeteners or colourings. We must especially appreciate the high protein and fibre content, thanks to which the bar will keep you full for a surprisingly long time.

Who makes it:

SmartFuel is a Czech brand of sports supplements, which is owned by the online store Fitness007. The company has been one of the best sellers of supplements for many years and now it has come to the market with its own line of nutritional supplements. The SmartFuel brand is characterized by an excellent price-quality ratio, thanks to which it is gaining more and more fans. You may have already come across its products in our comparison of the best whey proteins or in our ranking of the best fat burners.

Lovers of unconventional flavours will definitely find their favour with SmartFuel Protein bar. This is because it is available in flavours such as brownie with salt and dark chocolate or white chocolate with salt. Although these combinations may seem a bit strange, they taste really great in the end. The high proportion of nuts in the flavours is very pronounced, which must be seen as a positive. If you're looking for a perfectly balanced bar with a great taste and a great composition, you've definitely found the right one. Moreover, the bars are surprisingly filling, even though they are not very big. For more details, don't overlook our separate review on the SmartFuel Protein bar.

SmartFuel Protein bar ranks among the best protein bars on the market at the moment. It has very high quality ingredients, excellent nutritional values, plus it tastes perfect and won't set you back much money. Thanks to its high protein and fiber content, it can fill you up quite a bit and is therefore a great choice for anyone looking for a quality protein bar at a bargain price.

Pros:

• Exceptionally good composition
• Great taste
• Pleasant price
• Contains minimal sugars but plenty of fibre and protein
• Available in three great flavours inspired by popular nut butters

Disadvantages:

• The bar is only 45g (so the protein content of one is only some 12g)

In one bar (45g) you will find:

	Values in 45g
Calories	158.54 kcal
Protein	12,56 g
Fat	6,17 g
- of which saturated	5,09 g
Salt
Carbohydrates	4,73 g
- of which sugars	1,53 g
Fibre	20,25 g

The raw materials used in the production of this bar are really high quality. The base of the bar consists of vegetable fibre, whey protein and a large amount ofnuts (the specific type varies depending on the flavour of the bar). This mixture is further enriched with glycerin, which acts as a humectant, sunflower lecithin and sucralose.

Who makes it:

These protein bars are made by the well-known company Czech Virus, made famous by the controversial bodybuilder Filip Grznár and his former sparring partner Pavel Beran. Since 2012, when the first idea was born in the minds of the creators, the company has been taking pride in quality products without unnecessary chemistry.

Among the sponsored athletes, besides Filip and Pavel, there are also Aleš Bursa and Jiří Tkadlčík. All raw materials used by Czech Virus in the production of its products originate in the EU.

The protein bars from Czech Virus boast a very pleasant soft consistency, which is quite different from the hard consistency typical of cheaper bars. In terms of taste, our impressions vary greatly depending on the specific flavour. For example, we were absolutely enchanted by such Coconela as the coconut flavour in it was very distinct and complemented perfectly with the other flavours in the bar. Caramela, on the other hand, was much less pronounced and didn't please us much. It's also worth mentioning that the pack of bars is quite small, so it doesn't fill you up much. You can read more about it in a separate review on Czech Virus Protein Bar.

This exceptional bar deserves the second place rightfully. The ingredients used are of high quality, the price is appropriate and the taste experience, especially in the case of Coconella, is absolutely amazing.

As I also mentioned in a separate review, compared to other bars, they are not as stiff, but their consistency is beautifully soft. The downside, however, is the very small packaging, so if you're thinking of buying some, definitely get more.

Benefits:

• Available in 16 absolutely fabulous flavours
• 21g of premium quality protein
• Contains no trans fats or gluten
• Has minimal simple carbohydrates

Disadvantages:

• High price
• Contains palm or palm kernel oil

In one bar (60g) you will find:

The basis of ONE Bar is a patented protein blend consisting of whey protein isolate and milk protein isolate. In addition, the product contains isomalto-oligosaccharides, which are a source of plant prebiotic fiberMaltitol, glycerin, tapioca starch, emulsifier, calcium carbonate, salt and sucralose for sweetening. Other ingredients vary depending on the flavour chosen.

Who makes it:

ONE Bar is made by the popular company Oh Yeah! Nutrition, which is a subsidiary of ISS Research. This manufacturer focuses solely on protein bars, but it really shows in the results! The very first product was the Oh Yeah! Protein Bar 85g, which became a worldwide bestseller. Other, equally successful products followed. One of them is One Bar 60g, which is undoubtedly one of the tastiest and best protein bars in its category.

One Protein Bar has almost no competition in terms of taste. Its flavours are perfectly matched and thanks to its excellent consistency, you are guaranteed to enjoy it. For example, the Cookies&Cream variant contains small pieces of cookies that make the resulting taste absolutely amazing. We were equally pleased with the blueberry flavour, which unlike mostThe blueberry flavour, unlike most fruit flavours, had no artificial aftertaste and tasted really natural. Thanks to its weight, it will also fill you up quite easily, although it is true that if you are really hungry, you simply can't get enough protein. As a snack on the go, however, it serves well. We will discuss the bar in more detail in a separate review on One Bar.

If taste was the only important aspect, I wouldn't give it a second thought and place ONE Bar in 1st place. But unfortunately it is not. This bar is very tasty, I have tried several flavours and each time I was impressed, on the other hand it contains quite a lot of additives, including palm oil. And that, for a bar you pay less than for, spoils the overall impression.

Still, I can only recommend it if you are looking for a tasty rescue during a strict diet.

Edit 6.6.2019 - We have just published a detailed review for the One Bar, you can read it here.

Benefits:

• 45% protein content
• Completely sugar-free
• 11 flavours available
• Great on-the-go snack
• Contains high levels of fibre

Disadvantages:

• Contains coconut fat, which is not an ideal choice

In one bar (50g) you will find:

	In 50g ( one bar)
Energy value	787 kJ / 188 kcal
Fat (of which saturates)	7.5 g (2.5 g)
Carbohydrates (of which sugars)	6 g (0 g)

The ZeroProtein Blend, which combines rawprotein isolate, milk protein isolate and egg white. This blend is enriched with coconut fat, fructooligosaccharides, glycerol, sweeteners (maltitol, sucralose and steviol glycosides) and crhydrolysed soya isolate and whey concentrate.

Who makes it:

BioTech is one of the largest distributors of supplements ever. This company relies on multi-phase product testing to ensure its customersits customers that all products are of high quality and free of harmful additives.

Products pass both European and American testing conditions so you can fully rely on the results.

While the absence of sugar that Zero Bar boasts is great in terms of ingredients, it unfortunately reflects on the taste as well. While some of the flavours are very hilarious, others really let us down. An example of a hilarious flavour might be Apple Pie. This variant has a pleasantly soft consistency and actually tastes like apple pie. Similarly, we must praise the Chocolate and Banana flavour, although it was much harder. On the other hand, we were very disappointed after tasting the raspberry variant, which was very artificial indeed. For more information about the bar, including reviews of the other flavors, check out our separate review of the BiotechUSA Zero Bar.

Zero Bar is another great protein bar in our ranking. It doesn't contain a gram of simple sugars, but it does contain almost 45% highly usable protein.

If you're looking for a great and tasty snack for on-the-go and hot summer days, Zero Bar is a great solution.

Edit 11/23/2018 - We just published a detailed review for the Zero Bar, you can read it here.

Benefits:

• Perfect taste
• Really low carbohydrate content in most flavours
• High fibre content
• No controversial additives

Disadvantages:

• High price

In one bar (60 g) you will find:

Energy value	914 kJ / 218 kcal
Fats	11 g
- of which saturates	3,4 g
Carbohydrates	7,7 g
- of which sugars	1,5 g
Fibre	14 g
Protein	19 g
Salt	0,1 g

The protein source here is milk protein, which, depending on the flavour, accounts for about 26-31% of the composition. In terms of nutritional value, the flavour Bichocolate/almond, which contains the least carbohydrate and the most fibre. The big advantage is that there are no controversial additives in the ingredients. In addition to the aforementioned milk protein, there is also corn fibre in the ingredients.corn fibre, almonds, white chocolate coating, erythritol sweetener, coconut, chicory fibre, glycerol and cocoa butter.

Who makes it:
Not long ago, you might have come across Vilgain products under the brand name Actin. This is the company behind the Vilgain brand. The reason for the name change was to expand abroad, but otherwise the products of this manufacturer have not changed at all. Aktin as such perhaps does not even need to be introduced to anyone. Currently, it is one of the most popular manufacturers and sellers of sports nutrition in our country.

Vilgain bars are very popular, especially because of their great taste. As with most of its products, the manufacturer has relied mainly on subtle flavours that are not unnecessarily oversweetened or artificial. Clearly the most pleasant surprise was the flavour cinnamon roll, which tastes almost like Christmas candy. Nut lovers will also appreciate the nougat and hazelnut variant, in which the nuts are really very pronounced. The taste of all the bars is very natural, which is certainly not commonplace among competing manufacturers. You can read more in our separate review of the Vilgain Protein Bar.

If I had to fault the Vilgain Protein Bar, it would definitely be the price. In fact, compared to the competition, it is in a pretty high price range, which is simply a big disadvantage. But if you are looking for a great taste experience and a protein bar with a very hilarious formula, you will be happy with it.

Pros:

• Great and flavourful flavours
• Low in carbohydrates
• Almost 35% protein content
• Premium ingredients (almonds, prebiotic fiber, coconut, cashews,...)

Disadvantages:

• Some flavours contain palm oil
• High price

In one bar (60g) you will find:

Almond-vanilla flavour	1 serving (60g)
Calories	210 kcal
Fats	9 g
of which saturated	0,5 g
of which trans fats	0 g
Cholesterol	0 mg
Sodium	340 mg
Carbohydrates	21 g

The basis of each Quest bar is a protein complex consisting of milk protein isolate and whey protein isolate. The other ingredients vary depending on the flavour you choose, but in most in most cases, you'll also find almonds, corn prebiotic fiber, and sea salt in a Quest protein bar.

Who makes it:

Quest Nutrition is revolutionizing the health food industry as it strives to create delicious products that meet the demanding nutritional requirements of hard-training athletes. In its repertoire, you'll not only find the popular protein bars, but also protein chips, different types of oils, protein itself, and much more.

Quest Bars have long had a reputation for being the best protein bars on the market. Now, though, time has moved on and many competing manufacturers have introduced their own bars with great taste However, Quest Bar is still one of the best tasting bars on the market. This is due in large part to the great consistency and content of biscuit pieces, chocolate or even maple syrup inside the bars. This makes the resulting taste of the bar very natural and simply delicious. For example, the Cookies n' cream variant is reminiscent of the less sweet Oreo cookies, which we simply can't evaluate in any other way than positively. For more details, don't overlook our separate review on Quest Bar.

Aside from a few minor things , there is nothing to fault the Quest Bar. If you don't mind paying a little extra for a taste experience with great nutritional valuesthen there is not much to worry about because this will be the best choice for you.

Edit 6.9. - We just published a detailed review for the legendary Quest Bar, you can read it here.

Benefits:

• Great ingredients
• High protein and fibre content
• 4 absolutely great flavours
• Protein bar suitable for dieting

Disadvantages:

• High price

Exxe Protein Bar consists of whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate and concentrate, isomaltooligosaccharides (prebiotic) and polydextrose. The sweetener used is non-toxic sucralose.

Who makes it:

Extrifit has been on the market since 2007 and has grown to become the leading sports nutrition manufacturer in the Czech Republic. All the supplements offered are specially developed to suit all strength athletes and bodybuilders.

The company's vision is to produce supplements that will effectively support the growth of muscle mass and strength and effectively fight subcutaneous fat. All the supplements are tested by sponsored athletes - the absolute top of the sport - before they are launched.Vojtěch Koritenský, Tomáš Kašpar, Vlastimil Kužel and others.

EXXE Protein Bar has been receiving excellent taste ratings for a long time, which we have to confirm from our own experience. The problem with this bar, however, lies in the consistency, which depends on the temperature at which you store the bar, so it is very variable. While in summer it usually sticks to the wrapper and the consistency is more likee chewing gum than a stick, in winter it is rather hard and hard to bite. However, if you take this into account and have the opportunity to cool it down or warm it up before eating, you can avoid these problems. Of the individual flavours, we can particularly recommend the peanut and caramel variant, but you won't go wrong with any of the other variants either.

Although EXXE Protein Bar is only ranked sixth, it is comparable in quality to the first two.

Unfortunately, the big problem is the price, because few of us want to invest in one protein bar. If you want to treat yourself to something tasty from time to time to diversify your diet, EXXE can be a great choice, but it is not worth it for regular consumption.

Benefits:

• Great composition
• Contains almost 20% almonds
• 9g of fibre in each bar
• Contains no artificial colours or sweeteners

Disadvantages:

• Extremely high price

In one bar (60g) you will find:

The basis of R-Bar is milk protein, which makes up 35% of the whole mixture. You will also find soluble corn fibre, almonds, glycerol, cocoa butter and natural flavouring. The sweetening agents used are non-toxic steviol glycosides and the antioxidant DeltaGold.

Who makes it:

Reflex Nutrition has been on the market since 1996, and from the very beginning, the company has built all of its supplements on quality first. Their supplements undergo independent testing for banned substances and actual protein content in every batch.

All of the company's manufacturing technologies and pharmaceutical facilities are of the highest standard and therefore can be it is no exaggeration to say that Reflex Nutrition is the absolute top among sports nutrition manufacturers.

R-Bar is characterized by a very pleasant consistency, which greatly influences the resulting taste. In our opinion, the most successful flavour was the combination of white chocolate and raspberry, which did not smellIt was not over-sweetened and also contained pieces of freeze-dried raspberries, which made it seem more natural. However, we have to praise the other variants as well, although we noticed a slightly stiffer consistency in some of them. Still, in this respect, R-Bar does very well compared to the competition. Thanks to its relatively high weight, it also fills you up quite a bit, which is a big plus. Read more in our separate review of Reflex Nutrition R-Bar.

The same applies to R-Bar Protein as it did to the previous EXXE bar.

In terms of occasional consumption for extra dieting, the R-Bar is great, but regular consumption would probably ruin you financially.

Amix also sponsors the leading Czech bodybuilder Milan Šádek or the great Slovak bikini Timea Trajtelová.

This protein bar from Amix will please you especially with its consistency, which is ideally soft. There are a total of 10 flavours to choose from, so there's something for pretty much everyone. We were most impressed by the mango-flavoured variant, which was not unnecessarily artificial and tasted surprisingly good. However, we were also happy with the peanut butter and cookie or chocolate flavours. However, the other flavours aren't bad at all either and most of them don't taste the least bit artificial, which is of course a big plus.

Who makes it:

Hydro 31% protein bar is manufactured by Extrifit, which has been on the market since 2007 and has grown to become the leading sports nutrition manufacturer in the country.

All the supplements offered are specially developed to suit all strength athletes and bodybuilders. The quality of this company is also evidenced by the sponsored athletes - the absolute top of this sports branch.Vojtěch Koritenský, Tomáš Kašpar, Vlastimil Kužel and others.

Hydro Protein Bar 31% is much cheaper than the EXXE bar, which is ranked sixth in the ranking and unfortunately this is reflected in the quality.

Even the vitamin content and high quality protein cannot compensate for the high carbohydrate content.and the presence of glucose syrup, which should not be present in a quality protein bar.

Barebells Protein Bar is made by the Swedish company Barebells, which deals not only in protein bars, but overall Healthy fitness foods that all athletes can eat without having to worry about their slim line.

The company's main motto is "We believe in happy eating and healthy living."

Personally, I think Barebells is the perfect bar for cheat days when you are taking in more calories but at the same time don't want to consume over-sweetened sweets from the supermarket.

However, due to the higher price and the palm oil and collagen hydrolysate content , I wouldn't recommend daily consumption too much.

Edit 4.01.2020 - We just published a separate review on Barebells protein bars.

Pros:

• Great taste
• 30% protein content

The sweetening agents used were non-toxic steviol glycosides.

Who makes it:

Nutrend is one of the largest Czech manufacturers of supplements and sports nutrition, which also one of the proud sponsors of Czech Olympians - Martina Sáblíková, Jaromír Jágra and others.

Unlike most companies, it does not specialize only in bodybuilding and strength sports, but also in endurance sports. Just from the size and popularity of this company, it can be concluded that it produces supplements of first-class quality.

Although the Deluxe Protein Bar tastes delicious, it doesn't differ much from the classic supermarket bars. It contains fructo-oligosaccharide syrup, palm fat and gelatine hydrolysate, which in my opinion is completely unacceptable in a quality bar.

On the other hand, there are people who can't get enough of Deluxe Protein Bar, so you can definitely try it and share your opinion in the comments. Personally, I would not recommend it.

Benefits:

• Good price
• Two sizes available (40 and 85g)
• Great taste
• Contains vitamins, glutamine and BCAAs

Disadvantages:

• Contains glucose-fructose syrup and palm fat
• High in simple sugars
• Protein sources include the harder to use soy isolate

Unlike most companies , it does not specialize only in bodybuilding and strength sports, but also in endurance sports. Just from the size and popularity of this company, it can be concluded that it produces supplements of first-class quality.

I think it's already starting to become apparent on this protein bar how thin the line is between qualitymi protein bars and low quality substitutes that are just trying to make money with the "Protein Bar" label.

Things like palm oil, glucose-fructose syrup, or corn-potato extrudatesshould have no placein a quality bar.
